What is multicloud?
Multicloud refers to the combination of private infrastructure with multiple public clouds.
Nutanix reports that hybrid multi-cloud adoption in India is currently 12% and is expected to grow fivefold (to 63%) over the next three years. This increase in adoption will be driven by an increase in infrastructure diversity and a strong emphasis on data storage, management, security and services.
